Dungarees Fine is here to deliver that same denim-inspired charm in a finer gauge.

Spun in Italy from 95% recycled cotton and 5% recycled fibres, this sport weight (5ply) yarn is made entirely from post-consumer denim, giving old jeans a new purpose. Each 100g skein offers 310 metres of breathable, eco-conscious fibre with the same earthy softness and rustic texture you love in the original Dungarees, now in a lighter, more delicate form.

Whether you're knitting a breezy summer top, crocheting a lace-edged shawl or weaving fine-grained fabric, Dungarees Fine lets you craft with the comfort of denim and the lightness of cotton.

At Fancy Yarns Australia, we’re passionate about stocking recycled yarns with soul, and if you’ve been wondering where to buy recycled jeans yarn in Australia, Dungarees Fine is a lighter-weight staple you’ll keep coming back to.

A Yarn with a Story

Just like its thicker counterpart, Dungarees Fine begins as well-worn denim. Zippers and buttons are removed, the fabric shredded and the fibres blended with recycled cotton before being re-spun into this beautifully soft and versatile yarn.

This yarn carries with it the stories of past lives, repurposed with purpose, reimagined for makers who value sustainability, creativity and comfort in equal measure.

Why You’ll Love It

Dungarees Fine brings denim to your needles in the most delicate way. Smooth to work with and sturdy enough to last, it’s a go-to for lighter garments, accessories and eco-conscious designs.

You’ll love:

The sustainable composition, spun entirely from recycled fibres
The sport weight, perfect for trans-seasonal and layering pieces
The soft-yet-structured feel with subtle denim texture
The stitch definition that shines in both knit and crochet
The beautiful drape and breathability for warmer climates

It's everything you love about Dungarees, just a little finer.
